Rosemary Sseninde, the NRM director for Mobilisation, Recruitment and Cadre Development has warned the youths from expecting handouts. These handouts are normally from politicians, especially during the election period.
She said this while addressing youth converts who had crossed over to the NRM from the National Unity Platform (NUP).
“If you do not shun the negative mindset of expecting handouts from people, you will not develop yourselves. These handouts will not last long, but your business will, if managed properly,” Sseninde said.
She further encouraged the youths to engage themselves in income-generating programs. She said it’s important for young people to be self-reliant instead of depending on handouts.
Sseninde said the youths should follow up on government programs regarding finances.
It is at this point, she encouraged the Kayunga District residents to vote for the NRM candidate. She says government programs are channeled through the LCV office.
“All government programs are channeled through the LCV office. It is for the benefit of the district to vote for the NRM flag bearer. He is in a better position of working closely with the central government, which will greatly improve service delivery in the district,” she said.
Rosemary Sseninde also promised to engage in educating the youth in Kayunga district to embrace income-generating activities. She will do this with Muwonge, NRM LC V candidate if they vote him.
“I want to pledge my commitment towards mobilizing and educating the youth in Kayunga district to embrace income-generating activities. This, I will do hand-in-hand with Mr Muwonge once he is in office,” Sseninde added.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
